oh i c... i m fron jc so the Q they asked me quite different from yours. but they didn't ask u the estimation Q? i thought it's compulsory for every interviewee haha

Yeah they asked me to explain the answer for the estimation question.

Basically there are 3 parts to the interview.

1) Karel Test (15 minutes)
2) Estimation Question (5 minutes)
3) Main Interview
3.1) Explain your Karel Answer (Only if your answer is wrong)
3.2) Explain your Estimation Question Answer (To clear their doubt)
3.3) Interviewer ask questions
3.4) Interviewee ask questions

I've paid the confirmation fees. I think you need to pay before online matriculation. You may want to check with the admission office about it.

Btw for those who are matriculating to SMU this year, here's a link to the important dates for matriculation, camps, convocation, ID check etc. http://www.home.smusa.sg/#!events-calendar/c14w0

You probably wouldnt get into any course with those grades. You could try NTU physics, the igp is 3.34. But you should consider SIT instead. Unlikely that you will get into NTU.

Depends on whether the office of admissions think you need. Some ppl got in without interview, some didn't get in even with interview and some rejected without any interviews.

hi guys,

just submitted appeal into SMU IS.

it was my second choice but i was rejected from it. my rp is 72 (their tenth percentile is like 68.75). in my first application, i hadn't mentioned much of cca stuff like council, etc. i wasn't called for interview. but everywhere online i see ads of SMU IS and stuff, which gives me the impression that they may want more students? someone else had mentioned that last year she also put IS in her 3rd choice, but after she appeal into it, she got in. her logic is that they don't want to be a "dumping ground". in my appeal, i mentioned my cca and all my other stuff. do you think i stand a good chance...?

cgpa: 3.74, foreigner, do i stand a chance go get into NTU EEE?

Very high chance for local students but if for foreign students I think very slim hope..

The ads are directed at taking away students who would otherwise choose NUS or NTU instead. Not just any other students.

i think they wan students who really have passion for this course. i got few friends who scored around 72 rp but put IS as their first choice. they have received the offer long time ago
